I hope I have answered all your questions. Fell free to email...

My try...

It's been a long time since my last post. Hopefully I haven't lost my touch. Here is my try....

Oh a roll...

Here is another attempt. This was done very simply with PhotoBrush 1.7 using the Oil Emboss filter and the Filter-sim #21 Kodak filter.

Well, it has been a long time since I have been in the forum. We are now in Australia and waiting for our boat to be ready so we can sail the east coast.

I have to say THANK YOU to everyone. I sent my daughter the link to this thread and she loved it. Everyone has done such beautiful work on this challenge. I run to the computer everytime I hear an email arrive to see if another version has been posted. You guys and gals are great.

I know what you mean, Phil. My granddaughters light up my life. I just wish I lived closer so I could spend more time with them. I know this is Hope's forum, but I just have to throw in a picture of Anna too....
